Facial Fat Grafting

A Natural Solution for the Signs of Aging

As we continue to age, our faces endure a loss of volume due to fat loss and the breaking down of collagen. Facial surgery and non-surgical injectables and fillers have become popular and effective ways of treating these various signs of aging. Facial fat grafting is an alternative, minimally invasive procedure that uses natural fat cells from your body to improve these aging problems simply by adding facial volume.

Unlike other injectable products, fat grafting uses your own donor fat which is taken from trouble areas elsewhere on your body like the hips, abdomen or buttocks. This technique can augment your facial features to fill in wrinkles and skin depression.

Fat grafting can treat:

Facial creases and folds

Hollow cheeks

Laugh lines

Thin lips

Fat grafting leaves your face smoother and fuller with a more youthful contour. You can also anticipate improved facial balance.

What to Expect from Fat Grafting

This procedure involves the removal of your own fat from another part of your body like your buttocks or thighs. Once removed, your fat cells are purified and reinjected into the treatment area, just beneath the skin. After your procedure, there may be some swelling or bruising, but they should subside in 2-3 weeks. Some fat is usually absorbed naturally by the body, so the injection sites may be slightly over-filled at first to compensate for this effect.

The Best Part of Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting has no risk of allergic reaction because it is performed using your own fat cells.
